Visitors can enjoy private villas with pools, ocean views and 24-hour butler services.

Tree houses offer special breakfasts.

Many wealthy Chinese traveled further afield over the recent Spring Festival holiday.

They hunted in Kenya and rode icebreakers through polar regions.

Some travelers' spending exceeded 500,000 yuan ($72,800) apiece.

HHtravel has witnessed a significant increase in Chinese visitors to Finland. They go to view the wintertime aurora.

The country's Lapland offers "northern lights" views more than 200 days a year. Visitors can stay in hotel rooms with glass ceilings.

The Arctic Circle's official Santa hometown, Rovaniemi, also hosts a theme park. Visitors ice fish, snowmobile and hop aboard reindeer-drawn sleighs.

Australia's appeal is arguably due to its 10-year multi-entry visa agreement and seasonal inversion with China.

Nearly 5 percent of HHtravel's customers opted for the destination during China's winter, when summer Down Under proffers golden sunshine, green parks and blue waters that lap beaches of various shades.

The century-old Taronga night safari offers children nocturnal encounters with animals.

Hiking at the Greater Blue Mountains Area conjures a different kind of nature immersion.
